When we first got interested in hewing bowls, we looked to find
some information about "how to" -- and were amazed to find
nothing written about this craft.Needless
to say, years later when the Schiffer Publishing Company contacted us
aboutour doing some books,
we were excited about the opportunity.

There are two books, authored by us and published by Schiffer; we
offer them at a price of $16.95 each.(Plus tax in Tennessee and shipping & handling @$5.00 each.)

The first book is Sculpting Traditional
Bowls and is the right book for anyone who is interested in
beginning bowl-hewing.The
design is a traditional Appalachian style, with straight sides and flat
bottom, making it easier for the beginning hewer.

Our second book Hewing Modern Bowls
is a more complicated style -- that of an octagon -- with curved sides, so
is a more exacting style more suited to a person who has more experience
with hewing bowls.

Our specially-designed adz is made to Rip's design by a master tool-maker. The adzes are available from us. We do also sell custom-made adzes at our studio.Please call to inquire about them
